Hernández must serve his full 45-year sentence. A pardon rewards corruption, emboldens cartels, and undermines anti-drug and anti-corruption efforts across the Americas.

Read my full letter to the President here:

I’m furious at the cowardice of agencies charged with holding criminals accountable. To the White House, State Department, Justice Department, and US Embassy in Honduras, you are once again letting drug cartels and corruption win.

I sent a letter to President Trump demanding Hernández not be pardoned. His crimes are immeasurable. A pardon would erase years of work holding powerful drug lords accountable and betray every victim of his actions.
